The latest VStitcher 2025.1.3 release delivers key updates designed to help fashion brands and product development teams work faster, reduce errors, and improve collaboration. While it’s a minor release, the improvements add value across design, development, and production. Here’s an overview of what’s new and how it helps your team. Keep Color Information Accurate and Consistent Previously, when importing Adobe Illustrator (AI) vector artworks, color names weren’t automatically preserved in VStitcher, requiring manual renaming to ensure production accuracy. With this update, color names from AI files are now automatically retained. Value for your team: Save time by eliminating manual color corrections Maintain consistency across designs and tech packs Improve accuracy and speed in color communication This ensures a faster design-to-production process for apparel designers and technical teams. Enhanced Tech Pack Clarity Tech packs are essential for clear communication between design and production teams, but before this update, style and material names could appear truncated, and repeated print images were sometimes unclear. The

Emerson, an industrial technology leader delivering advanced automation solutions, is empowering manufacturers across every industry to drive toward optimized autonomous operations with the most advanced industrial artificial intelligence (AI) and data solutions for online, mission-critical applications. Emerson’s extensive AI portfolio – supported by its recent acquisition of the Aspen Technology business and built on decades of domain expertise – will help organizations implement AI solutions that deliver consistent, sustainable value. AI tools have reached an inflection point as open AI frameworks and foundational models trained on vast amounts of data have become more robust and accessible. However, while today’s companies see industrial AI as an essential tool to help automate workflows, eliminate complexity and increase agility, the unsecure and unreliable nature of public generative AI (GenAI) technologies is not suitable for high-availability, mission-critical industrial manufacturing. Emerson tackles this challenge with an AI portfolio featuring local models with embedded knowledge and guidance grounded in first

Integrated Projects (IPX) and Cintoo introduced a joint workflow that turns any registered point cloud into fully modeled BIM and CAD files in just a few clicks. Built on IPX’s BIMIT production engine and Cintoo’s cloud-based scan platform, the service makes it simple—and predictable—for commercial and industrial real estate teams to order, track, and download accurate as-builts in BIM and CAD formats that empower renovations and prepare their portfolios for AI-driven digital-twin applications. Why This Matters Get transparent pricing. Square footage and scope drive an instant quote, so owners know cost and turnaround before they approve. Get standardized building data. Each model delivery meets LOD 200+ / LOA 20 and includes Revit, per-floor DWGs, reflected-ceiling-plan DWGs for MEPF, and an IFC—creating a series of digital assets delivered in a secure browser-based experience for downstream analytics, automation, and predictive tools. Save on the cost of as-builts. Accurate models reduce change orders, shorten renovation schedules, and

Lantek, a global benchmark in sheet metal software solutions, and TCI Cutting, a specialist in high-autonomy industrial cutting systems and intelligent automation through its MAS Concept® model (Machinery, Automation, and Software), have jointly developed an innovative automated sheet unloading system. Successfully implemented at several strategic customer sites, this solution optimizes post-cutting material handling by eliminating manual intervention and significantly reducing downtime in the production cycle. Efficient Automation in Sheet Unloading Integrated with Lantek Expert software, the system leverages technology developed by TCI Cutting, combining an intelligent suction cup grid with its Automation Systems Load & Unload® platform for laser cutting machines. This integration enables fully automated and highly precise removal of parts directly from the cutting table. The system detects the exact position of each part, activates only the required suction cups, and ensures precise handling based on the geometry and center of gravity of each piece. As a result, parts are unloaded without error, avoiding the
